A shipment of COVID-19 vaccines from the COVAX global program arrived at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra on Wednesday, as Ghana received the group's first vaccine shipment.

Ghana became the first country to receive the vaccine on Wednesday, marking an important step for the international effort to help low- and middle-income countries cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.

In all, the COVAX alliance hopes to deliver nearly 2 billion doses of the vaccines this year.

The 600,000 doses of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine that arrived in Ghana were produced by the Serum Institute of India.

The COVAX initiative was created to boost equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, particularly for lower-income countries.
